I was thinking about going crazy and making blueberry squares this year too!

I also made homemade hot chocolate for jars as gifts this year. I got some cool ribbon and I printed out the labels and I’ll get the paper and the glue tonight and get assembling

Of all these cookies, there are only 2 that I can’t resist, apple pie bars and magic bars. By the time I’m done baking, I’m sick of looking at cookies at least for baking! I deliver these to neighbors, friends & family. I love baking and if I’m being completely honest this year, I haven’t had much joy except when I’m baking! It’s so relaxing to me, even though it’s crazy, it’s crazy good, I love seeing my neighbor’s faces when I drop off the plate, a lot of them are older so they are so happy to get homemade treats!

It’s so fun to me! I love baking, nothing fancy, just good old fashioned cookies made with love! I even have heart shape measuring cups (true story!!)

And if you want to know the secrets to my cookies... real butter (ALWAY!!)... fresh ingredients (mostly from Aldi's), pure vanila (never skimp on this... imitation vanila is made from tree bark), and love in each batch.

I love to bake too, just don't have that much energy any more! Your's all sound delicious, and the hot chocolate gift is so sweet, it's just the kind of gift I love to receive...with some cookies!! The joy is in the giving isn't it? That and getting cookies from friends!There was a gal at worked that used to give her homemade cookes as gifts every Christmas....I hope others appreciated the time, cost and love that went into each batch, just like yours!

About Me

This blog is about me, well, not really not about me, it's about God's story in my oh-so-not-perfect life. I'm thankful for God's grace.
I'm a woman saved by grace. A single mom who is in love with Jesus and a beautiful daughter. I often stand in amazement of them both!
I have found a love in Jesus that I never thought there was. This love involves trust, and joy and feelings I never thought possible.
It's opened my heart to amazing things. It's made me more aware of the blessing around me.
He's amazing.
